Heart Diseases

2012-02-20T00:00:00.0000000+05:30

pediatric cardiology have traveled a lot starting from revelation of anatomy of heart, followed by therapeutic advances,investigative approach,to surgical intervention for malformed heart.

Acute Rheumatic Fever

2006-07-01T00:00:00.0000000+05:30

Rheumatic Fever is an abnormal, delayed, often-recurrent probably autoimmune reaction to Group A b hemolytic streptococcal pharyngitis involving joints, skin, brain, serous surfaces and heart valves.

Clinical Manifestations of Acute Rheumatic Fever

2006-07-01T00:00:00.0000000+05:30

Certain manifestations have been designated as major manifestations & include carditis, arthritis, chorea, subcutaneous nodules & erythema marginatum. Other nonpathognomic signs & symptoms are called minor manifestations.

Diagnosis and Treatment of Acute Rheumatic Fever

2006-07-01T00:00:00.0000000+05:30

The diagnosis of rheumatic fever in the presence of characteristic clinical and laboratory findings is straightforward in the majority cases. In clinical practice however many borderline cases are encountered leading to over diagnosis or misdiagnosis and unnecessary treatment and precautions, which can be harmful.

Rheumatic Fever and Rheumatic Heart Disease (RF/RHD)

2006-07-01T00:00:00.0000000+05:30

RF is an acute inflammatory disease which follows group A b hemolytic streptococcal infection of the throat. Its most common manifestation is arthritis, most serious- carditis, most curious- chorea and most rare and inconsequential- subcutaneous nodule and erythema marginatum.

Fetal Echocardiography and Antenatal Management of Congenital Heart Diseases

2006-07-01T00:00:00.0000000+05:30

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common severe congenital abnormality with an incidence of 8.8 in 1000 live births.

Congenital Heart Disease : General Aspects

2006-07-01T00:00:00.0000000+05:30

Congenital heart disease is defined as the structural, functional or positional defect of the heart in isolation or in combination, present from birth, but may manifest at any time after birth or may not manifest at all.

Congenital Heart Disease - An Overview

2006-07-01T00:00:00.0000000+05:30

Prevalence and Etiological Basis of Congenital Heart Disease.

Management of Congenital Heart Diseases

2006-07-01T00:00:00.0000000+05:30

CHD Management includes Pre and Post operative medical treatment,Surgical intervention,Non operative, interventional procedures.

Introduction to Pediatric Cardiology

2006-07-01T00:00:00.0000000+05:30

pediatric cardiology have traveled a lot starting from revelation of anatomy of heart, followed by therapeutic advances, investigative approach, to surgical intervention for malformed heart. During this passage pediatric cardiology's simple problems became complex while complex problems became simple.

Cardiomyopathies in Children

2006-07-01T00:00:00.0000000+05:30

The cardiomyopathies may be primary (idiopathic) or secondary (where the cause is known). An important part of the management of childhood cardiomyopathies involves search for a primary cause.

Heart Failure in Children

2006-07-01T00:00:00.0000000+05:30

Heart failure refers to abnormal cardiac pumping of blood with or without an abnormal heart muscle.

Emerging Therapies for Chronic Heart Failure

2006-07-01T00:00:00.0000000+05:30

Newer drugs and therapies that are on the horizon, including angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, beta-blockers, exogenous brain natriuretic peptide (nesiritide), blockers of angiotensin-receptors, calcium sensitizing agents, modulation of the cytokine response, endothelin receptor antagonists, vasopressin antagonists, chronic resynchronization therapy and/or implantable defibrillator, and implantable circulatory assist device support for heart failure in children and young adults.

Myocardial Failure in 2 Month Old

2006-07-01T00:00:00.0000000+05:30

The most important clinical association of Kawasaki disease is cardiac disease (incidence roughly 30%), and early studies report a 2% mortality rate secondary to sudden cardiac death.

Arrhythmias

2006-01-01T00:00:00.0000000+05:30

Sinus Arrhythmia - Irregular rhythm originating in the sinus node.

Infective Endocarditis in Children

2006-07-01T00:00:00.0000000+05:30

Bacterial infections can cause serious cardiac disease. Two examples are endocarditis and rheumatic fever. Bacterial endocarditis occurs when certain bloodborne bacteria lodge on damaged endocardial surfaces of the heart usually an abnormal valve or on anatomic cardiac defect.

Pediatric Electrocardiogram - The Basics

2007-03-01T00:00:00.0000000+05:30

Electrocardiography records the electrical activity of the heart and is a useful, though under-utilized investigation in pediatric practice. It supplements the information obtained by clinical examination and chest radiography. ECG helps mostly in the assessment of chamber size, arrhythmias and ischemia.

Holter Monitoring

2006-07-01T00:00:00.0000000+05:30

Holter monitoring is known as ambulatory ECG. It is a device that allows to review a patient's heart activity for 24 hours. Every individual heartbeat is reviewed for that period.

Pulmonary Hypertension in Children : An Overview

2012-02-22T00:00:00.0000000+05:30

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is an angioproliferative pulmonary vasculopathy, characterized by loss of normal endothelial function, abnormal response of vascular smooth muscle cell to stimuli, and from the activation of multiple molecular pathways.
